Can anyone shed some light on Anti CCP antibodies result?
I’ve just received back some blood
test
results (
Rheumatoid
Factor
and Anti CCP antibodies). The Rheumatoid Factor came back negative but the Anti CCP came back as 10.4 K/UL. The test states that normal range is under 2.9 K/Ul yet mine is over 3 times higher.

Just saw my first rheumatologist yesterday, very confused by diagnosis?
Can you have negative rheumatoid factor, negative CCP antibodies, no pain, stiffness, swelling or symptoms in the small joints (hands, feet etc) & it still be possible to have rheumatoid arthritis? All of my symptoms for the past 5 and 1/2 months seem to be classical PMR (before I started taking prednisone

Achilles tendonitis and damage due to antibiotic side effect - odd icy sensation?
I have had RA for nearly 10 years, currently on Benepali and Metotrexate injections. Rheumatoid factor 74 and Anti-cpp 600 in 2014 and generally do not score above normal for blood CRP tests (interesting anomaly) even when ultrasound in clinic reviews shows inflammation. As well as small joint hand

Have I got RA ?
Hi I have been taking Prednisolone for PMR for 18 months and now on 5mg each morning under the care of a Rhuematologist . I have had Osteoarthritis for a good few years mainly in my finger joints . My Dr is now questioning if I have RA because my middle finger on the right hand is markedly more swollen

INSECT BITE OVERREACTION Could this trigger lupus or lupus like reaction?
She tested for Lymes Disease and
Rheumatoid
factor
. Lymes Disease
test
negative so far. I don't recall a tick. But the initial bite looked typical of tick bite. She said inflammatory markers elevated but didnt specify which ones showed this.

Figuring things out - first year since diagnosis
Hi, I'm posting here as I don't know anyone in real life with lupus and have been struggling to work out what my expectations should be in terms of symptoms. I was diagnosed just over a year ago following about a year of strange symptoms - GI issues, weight loss, Raynaud's, mouth ulcers, hand and wrist

Sourcing advice please
Hi I went to my GP in April with this problem. My GP practice give you forms for self booking for Rheumatology at choice of 2 hospitals. Both have no appointments available. I rang and was told 18 to 34 week wait but even then you have to go on a waiting list to get the appointment before that. I booked

Does this sound like osteoarthritis - or something else?
Been tested for
rheumatoid
factor
, negative result. What is reliability of
test
? Anti-CCP negative. C-reactive protein (CRP) low in range. The change in the shape of my knees and my shoulders are alarming to me. They seem to protrude? But I don’t experience specific pain in these areas.

I have PA, all was going well, but now they're trying to mess with my b12 perscipton!!!
Hi all,I'm a long time lurker, but haven't posted myself in a while. About 8 years ago, I was fighting to save my right leg due to bone tumors. 12 surgeries later, I lost that fight. During that time, I started losing weight, tons of anxiety, palpitations ect...This would all be normal reaction to this

child with dyslexia
My daughter has recently been diagnosed with dyslexic tendencies. She is almost 7yrs old in year 2 of primary school. I had her B12 tested last year due to recurrent mouth ulcers. I’m just concerned that while displaying the characteristics of dyslexia in reading & writing etc she does not experience

Raised MMA result
Hi everyone Have written before about my low active B12 results(medichecks). Latest one had been 36.7 (37.5~188). My previous 3 were slowly dropping from 60s to 50s to 40s. Advised to do MMA by medichecks. Eventually afforded one last week which came back high 38.5 (<32). They are now suggesting

If taking B12 supps skew's PA Intrinsic Factor test, does it do the same for Gastric Parietal Cell AB too?
Hi Everyone, Im a bit out of my depth here and wondered if you could help please. Ive taken B Complex for nearly 25 years, I do wonder whether serum levels have always been scuppered, as I read again that to do a credible PA , MMA test I needed to be off B12 for minimum 4- 6 moths , possibly longer
